I'm 43 years old and I've lost 70lbs since January using the WW point system and working out. I've got about 30 lbs or so to go. However, I've been here before (okay ... a few times) and this is where I always "bottom out", so I'm terrified of falling off track before I get to my goal. I'm trying to kick the "diet" mentality, and adopt a whole new healthy way of life ... carbs are not my enemy!

I am a 2nd year law student in Chapel Hill, NC. I live with my boyfriend of 3 and a half years and our 2 deaf cats (Petey & Joey - our babies!). I have always struggled with my weight but when I went on the birth control shot, it skyrocketed. I am still trying to get off the 60 or so pounds I gained in the year on the shot, plus some extra that I've always carried around. My goal is to be at my goal weight before I get married - whenever that may be!
